+## Confirmation Policy
+
+Default behavior: **confirm before generation**.
+
+- Treat explicit skill invocation, a file path, matched keywords/presets, `EXTEND.md` defaults, and any documented auto-selection as **recommendation inputs only**. None of them authorizes skipping confirmation.
+- Do **not** start Step 3 or Step 4 until the user confirms the dimensions / aspect / language / backend choices.
+- Skip confirmation only when the current request explicitly says to do so, for example: `--quick`, "直接生成", "不用确认", "跳过确认", "按默认出图", or equivalent wording. `quick_mode: true` in `EXTEND.md` counts as a standing explicit opt-out — set it only when you want every run to skip Step 2.
+- If confirmation is skipped explicitly, state the assumed dimensions / aspect / language / backend in the next user-facing update before generating.

 ### Step 2: Confirm Options ⚠️
 
+**Hard gate**: this step is mandatory per the [Confirmation Policy](#confirmation-policy) — Steps 3–4 cannot start until the user confirms here (or explicitly opts out with `--quick` / `quick_mode: true` / equivalent wording in the current request).
+
 **MUST use `AskUserQuestion` tool** to present options as interactive selection — NOT plain text tables. Present up to 4 questions in a single `AskUserQuestion` call (Type, Palette, Rendering, Font + Settings). Each question shows the recommended option first with reason, followed by alternatives.
